Reregistered as in the "Sunbird" block as VH-SBA in December 1960. On its return from Papua New Guinea, it was repainted in TAA's mainland livery. In 1971, -SBA was painted in the original TAA livery to re-enact the airline's first service, which was flown by VH-AES. The DC-3 then returned to PNG until retired in 1974. From 1979 to 1987, the unregistered DC-3 was displayed at Melbourne airport in its original livery. In 1988, it was made airworthy again as VH-AES . Current at the time of upload.
